Figure 65-6; Guyton & Hall Copyright © 2006 by Elsevier, Inc. Life Cycle of S.I. Enterocytes • Villi house self-renewing population of epithelial cells with a 5-day turnover. • Cell types in villus include: secretory cells, endocrine cells, goblet cells, and mature absorptive epithelial cells. • Cells in enterocyte lineage divide and differentiate as they migrate up crypts, becoming mature absorptive cells. • Enterocytes are shed into lumen to become part of ingesta to be digested and absorbed. Copyright © 2006 by Elsevier, Inc. Mechanisms of Absorption • Four mechanisms are important in transport of substances across intestinal cell membrane - Active Transport - primary - secondary (co-transport, counter-transport) - Passive Diffusion - Facilitated Diffusion - carrier mediated - Endocytosis Copyright © 2006 by Elsevier, Inc. Absorptive Pathway of Nutrients • A nutrient must cross 8 barriers to be absorbed by blood or lymph 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Basic Steps of Lipid Assimilation • Most dietary lipid is neutral fat or triglyceride. Three main processes must occur for triglyceride to be absorbed into blood: - Emulsification - large aggregates of dietary triglyceride are broken down. - Enzymatic digestion - to yield monoglyceride and fatty acids. Both can diffuse into enterocyte. - Reconstitution of triglyceride and chylomicron formation Copyright © 2006 by Elsevier, Inc.

Neural Control of GI Tract • Intrinsic Control - Enteric nervous system - Myenteric (Auerbach’s) plexus - Submucosal (Meissner’s) plexus • Extrinsic Control - Autonomic nervous system - Parasympathetic - mainly stimulates (Ach) - Sympathetic - mainly inhibits (NE) Copyright © 2006 by Elsevier, Inc.
